Pre-requisites
The topics in this section require a thorough understanding of the previous two topics:
-Automated Excavation Sequencing.
-Automated Dump Sequencing
The previous two topics covered the basics of setting up and running a Supersequence with assigned Dumps. This topic covers a number of strategies to assist when applying these basic principles to complex Supersequences spanning several Strips or Pits.
The broad strategy for assembling complex simulations is to approach the design in a systematic manner that divides the process into tasks, and implements the tasks in a progressive strip by strip manner. The exact procedures will vary from job to job, the following suggested procedure will be applicable in many instances, it may require adaptation to particular jobs.
The tasks which are generally applicable to most jobs are:
Task 1,set up Excavation Templates and Excavation Supersequence.
1.Create a Staged excavation, Raw Sequence, and Subsequences for each strip.
2.For each Strip, create Component Supersequences as required (for each Pass or relevant subsection).
3.Once all strips are processed in the above manner, create a Compound Supersequence for the desired schedule.
4.Test the Supersequence with Excavate/Start Supersequence, modify the Supersequence if required.
Task 2, set up Dump Templates, establish dumping strategy, assign Dumps and test.
1.Decide and dumping strategy, and create all necessary Staged Dumps. Try to utilise Excavation Dependencies wherever appropriate.
2.Processing one strip at a time, assign dumps, run the Supersequence (Simulate/Run Supersequence) for that strip and establish the feasibility of the dumping strategy for that strip. If necessary modify the dumping strategy and rerun.
3.When all strips are processed run the full Supersequence from beginning to end to test all Excavation and Dumping.
Task 3, modify any of the strategies if required.
This may typically involve editing the Compound Supersequence and modifying general Dump Constraints to produce and study variants on the basic dumping strategy.
